How to save the WRE in Atilla

>cut corruption by establishing Emperor and people as governors

>Abandon Britain in a calm orderly fashion
>Be prepared for famine by understanding wheat fields will eventually be useless in certain places
>Maintain the ERE's good side for the love of god
>keep fleeing barbars as a buffer against Huns
>Spain is awesome, develop and protect it
>North Africa is awesome, develop and protect it
>if a province is hit hard by famine, cut their taxes, they keep their food rather than sharing it
>worry more about military tree than civic

Personally, I find that getting whatever civilian technology you need to get walls on non-capital settlements and whatever military technology improves crossbowmen are the two most important aspects of playing WRE. Get the right chokepoints with this and some garrisons and you get an almost impenetrable defense.

What mods for Rome 2 my senpaitachi
>>
>>125367842
>Medieval 3 never ever
Why not, excluding ye olde games and Shogun 2.

Rome 1 (antiquity) => Barb Invasion (dark ages) => Medieval 2 (medieval) => Kingdoms (includes early renaissance) => Empire (colonial era) => Napoopan (early XIXth century) => FoTS (late XIXth century)

Following this logic the next TW would include WW1 or at very least Vicky era, both of which would be hard to handle with the current TW design due to sheer scale, so they rebooted the series.


Rome 2 (antiquity) => Attila (dark ages) => Charlemagne (early medieval) => ???

Back to my Asturias campaign.

Now, we're preparing to invade Sicily, and simultaneously hit Pamplona, which has been exiled into Bayonne. We're going to establish a defensive perimeter along the Pyrenees, with enough garrisons to hold off small invasions.

It's refreshing to no longer be facing cav-packed Moorish armies.

>>
>>125377967
Take it slow man

When you get attacked in your towns, fight the battle instead of autoresolving. Your towers and defensive testudo will shred an attacker. You might even win sometimes.

Keep half stacks ready to pounce on worn out enemies after they attack you and you should be able to stabilise. That's how you can get rid of the Visigoths and really blunt the sissynids. Sassanid's are awful in street fighting, just make sure to always have your armies in towns if there are enemy stacks in range. They will drop 4 at a time on you

Your starting melee units can't kill people for shit, but they are tanky as hell. Use scout equites and merc cav to hit enemies in the rear once they've engaged. Levis Armaturae are also really good at dealing out loads of damage.

. Oh and git gud my friend

>Your towers and defensive testudo will shred an attacker. You might even win sometimes.

Please. You can win almost any defensive battle if you have at least 4 testudo-capable infantry.

Just block off the chokepoints to the central raised area, and keep your cavalry units hidden outside the city in wooded areas.

If the enemy leave any missile troops unprotected, snipe them with your cav, though watch out for their cav (not usually a problem, because the retarded AI likes to rush them against your testudo ASAP). If and when you win at one of the chokepoints, or they simply don't send men to attack one, send the men from that chokepoint, and any reserves you have inside the walls, to run around and hit the moshpitting retards at the other chokepoint(s) in the rear.

/twg/ bls halp

My cpu was overheating so I installed a liquid cooler and another system fan but now my computer shuts off about 10-30 seconds into the boot process and I think it's because my power supply has met it's match.

I haven't bought one in ages, idk what to go for.

Should I get a 500W? 600W? more?

I'm running a really old graphics card (like a GT 740 or some shit, like a 50 dollar card or something), an Fx-8350 amd cpu, 8 gigs of ram, and a 500gig standard harddrive with the liquid cooler and two other fans. I was going to upgrade the graphics card so I want wiggle room for that, but I want to know what to shoot for. I think the power supply I have is anywhere from 300-400 watts so that's probably the problem. Gonna suck if I install a new power supply and it still crashing during the boot, but gotta start somewhere.

Kinda late but they get the best shock cav in the game I think,it's a hybrid unit with bows,however despite being the so called cav "masters" of the era,they get beat by everybody else's elite cav and your best anti cav option is tribesmen hybrid spear/bows. The noble swords are also the third best sword inf in the game though strangely,with only Mercia and The Danes having better infantry and asturias tied with em.

So, it looked like we were right fucked for a while, but then we miraculously won a cavalry duel on the opposite side of the river, and got a few really good hits off with the onager.

We routed the men in melee, and our cav on the other side was able to come round and hit their fucking archers.

It was a horribly bloody battle. Virtually their entire force of 3k, and 2/3 of our force of 1800, died along the Aude river. Most of the kills on our side came from our artillery, the four pieces of which got 675 kills in total, and our cavalry, who got around 1200 total, one unit reaching over 400.

The overwhelming majority of their kills came from their archers, with one unit getting over 200 kills alone.

Oh, you think that's bad? The pikes actually worked great for the AI in that example. For some reason, they didn't count as being pointing everywhere but my units, meaning they lasted close to 6 minutes like that, while being buttfucked by 3 units.

It is decent but it still needs work, there's a few cases of units underperforming/overperforming for there price and one hand and two hand axes are lacking their vs. infantry bonus, not as notable on the two hander since they got the high attacks but 1 hand axes are useless like early attila again.

The pike unit should be able to go on the walls but they shouldn't be able to use their pikes in my opinion. I just find it weird that is was possible when other unit abilites got greyed out when the unit was on the walls.

Are you merely pretending, yiu hoist it up with a rope or something,it isn't hard to find away, although as already said it's use on a wall would be rather limited and specific.

They do in Attila

Actually in attila if you get flanked the flanks will drop pikes and attack while the rest keep using pikes, which is pretty cool.

They switch to their secondary, not drop it. You can give chase immediately and they'll magick their pikes out of nowhere.

While the war with the Lombards has turned into a Sitzkrieg, the war in Sardinia is only heating up.

We bypass their armies and head straight for Cagliari. They've depleted it of troops to go and hit Olbia in the north, so we only have to face the garrison.

Gotta be North European if you wanna be fast. That way you can immediately recruit in most towns you conquer and move your army on leaving it empty before the end of the turn.

Southern European is suffering. Better armies but you have to drop off 3 or 4 units at each town.

Yep and no problem.

22nd to the 1st. I have my wishlist ready.

Remember steam changed sales so theres no more dailies and votes its a price that stays the same all through the sale. I found games that were the cheapest I've ever seen them. You have to actually search now.

Some games are delayed though for example Watchdogs remained full price until the final day of the sale after Steam finally realised it never got a price cut. Some games have even had a permanent price cut since. So the sale price will be even cheaper.

Except it isn't. Final-tier Asturias has:

-Generic shit-tier spearmen
-Mildly better spearmen (fuck if I even know what tribesmen are for)
-Ambush-capable spearmen with better melee stats and the same ranged damage and ammo of skirmishers; only downside is no spearwall
-Unarmored swordsmen
-Armored swordsmen
-Unarmored sword cav
-Armored sword cav
-Skirmisher sword cav
-Skirmishers
-Heavily armored skirmishers with somewhat passable melee stats, and higher ranged damage than any other skirmisher

You have several options to pick from between melee infantry, ranged infantry, and cav.

I'm on round 130 or so and playing Saxons I still have no halfway decent cavalry in a game where skirmishers cause absolute havoc. It takes an immense ammount of research, money and progress to be able to have the level 3 barracks for saxons, which apparently unlock proper cavalry, but untill then your best fast unit is skirmisher cav which will get destroyed by any infantry or melee cavalry in seconds, and has no armor to withstand skirmisher/archer fire at all.

I could've probably prioritized things better, but seriously this is kind of bullshit. I've now taken over most of Germany and my cavalry is still utter shit.

Can someone give me tips for how to fight battles in Fall of the Samurai?
It seems like when you're just starting your line infantry isn't well suited to fighting Kachi and I can't really find a strategic use for Kachi and line infantry in a single army. What I'll normally do is place my kachi behind my riflemen and have them pull back behind my kachi just before the enemy charges and use my Kachi to counter chage the enemy, but I always lose more men that I think i should have to when the battle is over.
Seems like artillery is the only solution to this problem but artillery seems to kill campaign movement.
>>
>>125409606
Also if my army is short on spear levies and Kachi, i'll usually place them on the flanks to reduce the impact of cavalry taking out my flanks, but again I always seem to lose more men then I'd have to if I was going this right.

Honestly though Freeman was only doing that because of something about behind-the-scenes shots. Like he didn't like it or something. Otherwise, yeah, it kinda sucks that McKellen is put through that.

>>125399147

If every battle looked like that, it would be shit, but 99% of battles don't look anything like that, so it gave this stylized, surreal feel to the battle. Sort of like one of the irrelevant planets you might land on in Mass Effect, with a cool skybox and weather effects.

It's a good idea but the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Biggest problem is you can't replace the leader with one more friendly to your interests other than trying to assassinate him (which won't even work if he doesn't lead an army in the first place). Also the fact that region trading still isn't in.

Makes you wonder if the movie would have been better as a single one instead of a trilogy. Because there's hardly one movie's worth of good scenes in the three of them combined.

how the heck do i deal with public order in Attila? I've settled in southern iberia as Suebi but I've been stuck to only 2 provinces dealing with ENDLESS rebels for nearly 20 turns. Immigration is also ruining my life, with it averaging up to -15 in my provinces, to the point that raising taxes to very high actually lessens anger, but it doesnt matter since they rebel the next turn anyway.

its not fun, i should have conquered most of iberia by now but most of it is now celtic.

Almost certainly, you can't stretch a single relatively short children's book into a whole trilogy like with LOTR and expect anything but a Lucas-tier abomination from the results.

This one is outdated, it's from release, and I had to made it smaller so quality might be bad.

Since the initial release besides the big circles following factions have been made playable: (Viking Forefathers:) Geats, Danes, Jutes, (Longbeards) Langobards, Alamans, (Celts) Burgundians, Picts Caledonians, Ebdanians, (Sandpeople) Himyar, Tanukhids (horde faction in the desert, spawns around where the map shows the Ghassanids), Axum, (free updates) Suebians, Lakhmids, White Huns (horde faction that spawns to the right of the Sassanid Empire)

>>125411868
I think it tells you what causes bad public order

After you make sure everyone has enough food and shit the easiest way to deal with it is religion since multiple religions cause problems, buildings that give higher public order, armies stationed in cities and governors with high authority and points in those skills that give higher public order, also any household items that do the same

Your main issue as a migrating faction is probably that everyone is some kind of Christian
>>
>>125408801

Should have stayed a horde until the Romans got wrecked by other barbars.

If you want to avoid getting killed after raiding Rome, just put your two hordes in the Pyreneean pass, one on each side of the province border, so that they don't get the rivalry penalty, and can join in any battle against the Romans.

>>125408827

>south american total war

Would be shit m8, pre-Spanish we barely know anything about, but it was probably retarded primitive horseshit, post-Spanish it was a bunch of backwards-ass countries that could barely afford their armies, fighting each other over completely retarded horseshit in relatively small wars, in horrible shit environments where even more men than usual died of disease.

The only interesting scenario would be the War of the Triple Alliance, but I'll just hope we get to kick Brazilian-Argentine ass as Paraguay in a campaign pack for US Civil War: Total War.
>>
>>125411868

Religion is almost always the main problem when it comes to public order in attila

Construct a religious building asap and lower or turn off taxes. I assume you're still arian as the suebi so iirc they have an edict that spreads arian christianity

>>125413043

The issue is that with the Boshin War you have a mess of a civil war but with people changing sides (iirc, I'm no expert) and a historical background of clans warring all the time, but with the US Civil War, you have two clear states (or rather, unions) at war with one another.
>>
>>125399018

Yeah, Westphalia is the region which the Saxons came from. As far as I know they were Saxons. Maybe they're already planning a Saxon invasion campaign. That would be really great if they incorporated the Jutes and Frisians and stuff.

But they also have the Kingdom of Mercia, which was ruled by pagan Engles in those days, and would also occur during the migration of the Anglo-Saxons.

Even if you somehow shoehorned every state to be their own faction and somehow different from each other (it would be hard enough to make up interesting units for one faction, finding enough for each state in the Union/Confederacy would be impossible), one Union state attacking another would make no sense whatsoever

And even if you went and gave natives their own culture/faction(s) and shoehorned in some other factions like Mexico or whatever
It would still be bad

I just don't think this war works for a Total War game at all

Maybe you could make each general one faction with made up fantasy units (Stonewall Jackson and his line infantry with shields!), but they still wouldn't be attacking each other and it would still be stupid

There are so many much much better settings for Total War games, this war just does not work.
>>
>>125414059
I was just making a half-assed attempt at devil's advocate, I agree with you for the most part. It only works as a historical wargame or as a small part of a larger whole.
>>
>>125412573
>>125412756
>>125413043

I think it would work as an Attila/Napoleon to Empire II/Victoria TW.

There's lots of Civil War grognards who would love to have a detailed portrayal of the war, and if they took the effort to make the campaign side of things more engaging, it could really work.

And they wouldn't just have to include the two American factions - Britain and France and Mexico should also be included. The French-Mexican war would be a side theater, and France and/or Britain could potentially get involved in the war (maybe via event for the Union, letting you have a real challenge, and for the rebel scum you could get them in if you meet certain objectives, such as breaking the blockade, and winning a few major battles).

330 days from now, on November 10th 2016 Medieval II: Total War will be exactly 10 years old. (It also happens to be one day before Veteran's Day)

You all already know there's a team working on a new historical Total War title, you've all been seeing which time period Attila and Age of Charlemagne lead up to.

On November 10th next year Medieval III will be officially announced to be released between Total War: Warhammer/-expansions.

Upgrades don't change visuals, higher tier units have chain mail and helmets and more armor and stuff

As for the cities, in the top right there is a drop down menu that shows all your provinces.

Click on that and then click on every province and check if they are happy, if they have food, if sanitation is green. (check food by clicking on the bottom left icon after you selected a province)
What buildings can you build? If you build this building, will there still be enough food?

Just go through the provinces in the drop down menu one at a time and check what you can do.

In AoC specifically there's buildings that give bonuses to adjacent provinces (e.g. hospital), so it helps to check on the map which provinces are central so they give the bonus to as many as possible.

>>125420381
Vague question so I'll assume you're a beginner.

Religion is important because it affects public order, the more the people are united religiously the happier they are.
You can check percentages for that if you select a province and click in the bottom left or for your entire faction if you click on the bottom center and check the Summary tab.

In AoC it's not really much of a problem though, if you take over Muslim or Pagan territory as a Christian you build an abbey and it really doesn't take much more, if there's still problems you can recruit a priest and he will automatically spread religion in whichever province he is standing.
Priests also can help with public order, the ability they start with makes public order in the province they are in a little higher if you activate it and just leave them standing.

Family stuff is fairly simple, especially in AoC since people don't have to move up the ranks.

If someone has a red ring on their portrait their loyalty is wavering, then you select your character with the most influence (most of the time that's your faction leader) and use the "secure loyalty" option on them.

Officials are, as I said, not too complicated.

You have a list of offices you can fill and, to the left, a bunch of characters from your family and further left people at your court.
If it says "Statesman" (or something, I can't remember) they are just chilling and you could, for example, put them in the office that gives everyone more taxes.
Then there's offices that give bonuses to things like "+10% wealth from agriculture (governed province)" so you look for a governor in your family or at your court and put them there.

Governors are important, but if you end a turn and you have an open spot the game will tell you.
Governors can issue edicts (the game will tell you if you forget about those too), those can, for example, increase public order or growth, after some time you can improve their skills/household items for more stuff

So I'm trying to think of what to buy as my first Total war. Shogun 2 looked really nice, but at the moment, Attila seems to be the thing. But checking it on steam, it has some mixed reveiws (I plan to torrent what I get, anyway). What do you guys think, is Attila good?

>>125421698
>>125422305
We talk about most Total War games here, so you wouldn't be excluded for playing anything that's not current.

It really just comes down to which time period you like the most, each game has it's own pros and cons

You could try to start with one of the old ones, Medieval 2 and the Kingdoms expansion for example.
It's kind of broken but if you can put up with outdated controls an some things being pretty janky the game has many mods that you might enjoy, also the setting is nice.

A Total War which I think would be a good start is Shogun 2, it has the best presentation, it's pretty straight forward and the battles aren't too complicated.
It's not a perfect, but I feel like it would be a good start.
Fall of the Samurai, the Shogun 2 expansion, is good too if you like gunpowder.

I'm currently playing Attila (that's the game the image is for) and I really like it, but I don't think it would be a good first game in the series, I think it's more complicated and harder than other TW games, feels more hostile to beginners.

I don't know if the first Rome is fun to play nowadays, but the Alexander expansion definitely isn't.
About the first Shogun and Medieval I'm not very sure either, those games are rather old and different from what we are playing today and I have no idea if they hold up at all.

Rome 2 is was pretty terrible at launch, but apparently they did a lot of work to fix it and there's mods such as DEI that people enjoy, I haven't engaged with it myself but if you really like the setting it might be worth a shot.

If you want to play Empire I would recommend modding it with either Darthmod or LME.
Napoleon is similar to Empire, it's a better game in most ways, but it's set on a smaller scale.

There's a humble bundle going on for another two days that will get you Shogun 2, Napoleon, Empire, Medieval 2 -collections and some other stuff so if you want to you could check that out, also there's a Steam sale soon

Attila is great, but I wouldn't play it as my first Total War.

The reviews went to shit because people got angry about DLC and there was a free weekend that resulted in negative reviews.
>>
>>125422562
Well there's only four months left, Vampire counts ought to hit very soon.
>>
>>125422305
Don't listen to this faggot. >>125422431

Medieval 2 fans and the ilk are not allowed here, we call them nostalgia fags. Empire is a broken mess and therefore not worth playing, FoTS has the best gunpowder based gameplay but if you really have to play stand and shooty total war in europe then play napoleon. Shogun 2 is decent but can never hope to match Attila or Rome 2.

I recommend buying Attila and AoC and starting with that.
>>
>>125422305
Attila is my favorite, but that's my bias speaking since BI was my favorite before. Like >>125422431 I would recommend S2 first since it's the most noob-friendly. If you do get Attila first don't play as either of the Roman Empires yet.

I'm thinking about getting that humble bundle to play Rome 2 DEI.

Can someone please tell me if, and more importantly why, it's good?
I have heard that it supposedly improves Rome 2 a lot, but I don't know what it actually does and what part of that is good, and since I never played vanilla Rome 2 I can't really tell the difference by looking at footage.

It's a mod for autists who like to watch armies slug it out while taking no casualties and win based on morale shocks alone.

90% of the troops die while fleeing after the battle is over. Also cavalry and Hoplites are stupidly OP.

you won't be able to break melee armies with firepower alone until you get 1 of the following, High tier infantry (at least imp/sho/rep infantry), kneel fire, or artillery. Until then you're going to be pretty hard pressed to keep the casualties down in battle, so fight defensively. A good tactic is to find a hill, and place your gunners behind and above your melee line. They should be able to fire into the enemies melee troops without causing casualties to your own

as for campaign movement, Shinobi, Foreign Veterans and the metsuke agent (forgot its name) can all increase an armies movement range through traits, so stick them in your armies, upgrade them and your general for movement
>>
Can you not convert your religion in AoC?

>>125424019
Holy shit that's hilarious.
Do units really scatter like rats like that in R2, the fuck's the point of that?
Seeing those cavalry actually do what you tell them to do is making me hard though. I'm stuck in warscape land playing M2.
God, I have to tell them to go a certain distance away, wait for them to stop there, then make them turn around, then they stop being retarded and scooch close to each other, then they stop moving, then I have to give the order to charge and it's a crapshoot whether:
1.) They all charge like God intends.
2.) The first line keeps their shit together and charges while everyone else kind of breaks up and becomes useless in the charge.
3.) They all come apart like that gif of the kids toy train tower falling down.
4.) See 3, and they also have swords drawn and don't charge.

>>125424389
Are you sure? I can think of a few more things.

AOR is neat, tho, even if just something for the player to add character and flavour to his empire with.
Reworked resources give some meaning to trade.
Supply is (sort of) logical and adds another element to consider, tho I can see how it would be not fun for certain players/playstyles.
I like their concept of elite units not becoming new standard ones and reforms not being tied to technology - you can't just rush to them anymore and crush eveyone still using pre-reform ones. Elites are costly and it should be more efficient to have fewer of those and more of lower tier standard units. For example, I've got access to tier 3 units, but can only afford six of those in my single army with the rest being t2 spears and t1-2 ranged units. This full army costs around 6k per turn - a huge drain on my 4 region domain. With 6k I could easily fund two lower quality amries and, as I'm being attacked from two sides at the moment, I'm thinking that this would have been a rather better plan. Lower quality troops do naturally take more damage and can't hold no-where near as well as on anon's webm. AI will prioritise military buildings so they will field elite units which will wreck your standard ones.
>>
Are there any permanent negative effects in Attila when I abandon settlements? I know about the Uncertainty public order effect but is that all that happens?
>>
>>125427004

I think it would have needed to be two movies in any case, or at least one very, very long movie.

What people tend to forget is that The Lord of The Rings is so long because of the endless landscape description and scenes of traveling and not much happening.

The Hobbit on the other hand is just non-stop shit happening with very little breathing room. It's only half as long as one of the 3 Lord of The Rings books but it easily has as much happening as 1½ of them.

But I think it's beside the point, The Hobbit movies aren't only bad because they're stretched out, they're also bad because the people at the reigns clearly did not give a FUCK about a faithful or respectful adaptation, and even if it were only one or two movies that problem would not go away.

It's gotten to the point in M2 where I quit a game after 25 turns because I look at the map and realize that I haven't wiped out Egypt. I don't have an army poised to attack Spain and Portugal, don't have England, see I'm not to Poland yet, and have few crosses and the pope starts threatening excommunication and I quit.
I don't know what I do different but some games I just do way better. The only reason I like staying good with the pope is free armies, instant recruits, and movement boost.

biggest tip for a mercia legendary campaign.

Get a fucking half stack of boats to stop the constant raiding from the irish cunts should they ever go to war with you.

They could constantly sack 2 settlements per turn AND get back home whilst i was busy holding a civil war/war with a ridiculously strong (8 territory) northumbria.

I actually ended up on war weariness rank 9, and a civil war, it was like -8 integrity and it took me 20 years to resolve the situation.

I have no fucking idea man, but there must be, otherwise I wouldn't have to deal with this stupid shit.

It's one thing Total War Arena did absolutely right. All of the soldiers are somewhat low quality and you can't zoom the camera all the way in to get a good look at them, as if their looks mattered. Runs AMAZINGLY.

I HAVE to play with shadows off and unit detail at the minimum or the game drops to 25 fps or lower, and even then, it still lags down to 15 or so fps when I zoom in moderately on the combat

I can't even play on Huge unit scale anymore

Don't be put off my faggots with low test and lower IQ.

DEI has multiple submods to suit it to your taste.

I play it with the increased movement speed and lower battle hp submods.

Most battles tend to last within 10% of the duration as vanilla, but the fighting is just different.

Attila is my favourite right now, but i have also spent 50 hours this month with DEI if that helps at all.

red knights, blue knights are also fighting black green and yellow knights while the white-blue knights and crimson nights dick with them and the pope knights excommunicate them.

Iv always thought it would be rather easy to have the ACW portrayed in total war. Just make Empire 2, and make the ACW the Empire 2 version of the "Road to Independence" campaign in Empire 1.

You start the campaign and its like a tutorial for assembling troops for the first battle of bull run, then you fight the battle, and after that the map opens up. Its the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas/Cuba. Like you said the players are Union, Confederate are the playable factions, Britain, France, Mexico, and Spain are the AI factions in the region.

Eventually when the ACW is completed the full map opens up just like Empire, allowing you to take your country further.

What depth is there to the sassanid roster? It's literally radious tier variations with light cav, light cav with javelins, medium cav, medium cav with javelins and so on.

just feels like utter lack of effort. Like lacking free companies, bowmen to fill the rapid firing ranged role, mortars etc. fro dorfs no runelord or anvil of doom. I feel that these could fill different roles left unexplored by the current roster

all these feel factions neutered despite CA's assurance for depth.

>>125443640
The Sassanids have 41 'unique' units in their roster.
The Empire roster has 27 units, 3 of which are variations of the same one.

The only ones in the Sassanid roster who are moderately unique in any sense is the naft throwers and elephants. Everything else is your basic spearmen, swordsmen, horsemen etc etc with different skins, textures and weaponry.

Meanwhile the Empire has unique models for a whole lot of things. Steamtank, gryphons, all the artillery, luminark and all the hero units.

I'd take the later over the sassanid roster any day because it allows you to mod in those units that simply 'flesh out' the roster while still retaining a bunch of unique models. So yeah sorry but I don't agree that its such a huge deal at all.

Neither does dlc have to do with any of it, not really. They could deliver unit variety with some effor at launch and with meaningful expansions. Indead they are choosing to leave some areas of the game underdeveloped for 100€+ dlc later.
>>
>>125443883
General's Bodyguards look similar to chivalric knights

that's about it

every other cavalry was unique, had a unique skin, some had multiples weapons, some had bows and maces, some have lances and swords

they all have different states

the only unit that is the same as another is the same unit.
>>
>>125443861

> have their visual appearance updated if you upgrade their weapons and armor, right?

...So? They will just look like another unit that's a tier higher, for example mailed knights when upgraded will just look like feudal knights and then chivalric knights, doesn't make them suddenly some different unique unit altogether, it's like upgraded peasants are some unique shit because they look like sergeants.

I love the fact that you're trying to argue as if I've not spent hundreds of hours on M2 and don't know that you're full of shit

That's absolutely true and should be that way, but I'm also ok with fleshing out the roster with free-lc over time (it's better than nothing).

DLC for single units or units packs should not be allowed!
Whole new factions (like Bretonnia, Beastmen or Wood Elves) are acceptable dlcs imho.
>>
>>125444340
this makes me happy. Source?

I remember seeing some variety of armour in the battle for blackfire pass but it was within the units themselves so I didn't know what to make of it.
>>
>>125444359
No, all DLC is inherently bad!

Everything should be free!
>>
>>125444086
But that way you'll never get them to look for a proper job.

>>125444359
bretonnia is already in the game tho, or so it would seem in the campaign showcase trailer.

It will probably be like the Seleucids, they probably don't have it fleshed out enough and will release it post launch

It will be like all faction DLC, they'll be in the game prior to some extent but will just be generic crap with no units / special events / quests etc

literally not what >>125444359 said

Mini-campaigns are technically alright for dlc, but unlocking factions on the campaign pack is just mocking players. Remeber when Greeks were going to be unplayable with R2?
>>
>>125444586

This, I also think it will not be the only faction to get the Seleucid treatment

Are the Borderprinces playble in the Warhammer tabletop or are they just a page of lore in some book?

I've heard them mentioned here and on CA streams, right now I'm suspecting they will share one generic roster with Bretonnia until that DLC releases, but I'm wondering if they could ever amount to a faction of their own
>>
>>125444529
I know, but we don't know yet how the unit roster looks like and which legendary lords are implemented.
The quest lines also take some time and I guess there's other stuff too.

But I'm still on the side of 'DLC is ok when the amount of content is right' (like Empires of Sand and Age of Charlemagne), everything else should be free-lc (or content patches or whatever)

What? Seems in this thread everyone is crying about it running like dogshit compared to Rome 2.

I can play Rome 2 at extreme with no issues even in battles. With that logic I should be able to handle Attila at Ultra(extreme being for "future hardware") but according to people here that's not the case. Of course these same people said Arkham Knight ran like shit yet I had no issues with it.

I want to buy it during next weeks winter sale but I'm not wasting money if it runs like shit. They should really make the prologues of the total war games the demo for people to test.
>>125442872
All they did was remove ships and add land vehicles. They also removed the reskins of units. All units look unique. Plus you got DLC and Free LC to come and 2 full expansions that expand the game world.

Also first person controllable aerial suicide bombers. I'm gonna have fun with that unit. Of course at the end of the next year so patches iron out most issues because lets face it Warhammer is going to be buggy as fuck.

I don't get it. It's mostly just vanilla overhauls that adds some units and changes some stats. They barely try to fix the game(not like they actually can fix the most broken parts) and just add more problems.

I think the corruption nerf cut a bit too deep. It should have been loaded more on technologies I think, with 10% straight nerf and then the rest coming from finishing the civ tree up.

The sassykids nerf were 100% needed. I don't think roman recruitment was that bad.. Maybe the legio should have been reduced to 1 turn recruitment timer+bows+equites. But roman recruitment is all kinds of fucked up.
>>
>>125447748

It had some great ideas, but it was badly executed . It was a huge setting that CA was not ready to handle when it was developed.

The thing with games like M2, Attila or Shogun 2 is that they have coherent design. It's not about the individual mechanics, it's about how they work with each other.

That's why Rome 2 or Empire were clusterfucks, they weren't designed in a polished way (not to mention the technical issues both games had and still have). Sure, both had a few cool mechanics that really stood out, but they didn't work at all with the rest of the game.
